Install S-Drive from the AppExchange

Info

If you are upgrading S-Drive from a previous version, see Appendix B: Upgrading S-Drive.  Otherwise continue below.

Increasing security

The user installing and connecting S-Drive in the portal must have Modify All Data and Customize Application permissions. This is typically an Admin user.

To increase security, we recommend setting up a special user with its own profile that will have Modify All Data and Customize Application permissions, and after installation those permissions will be removed. You can clone the System Administrator profile and remove permissions after installation.

The steps to do this are described briefly here, but are in the instructions on this page in more detail.

  1. Create a user that will be a service user that has Admin permissions, including Modify All Data and Customize Application.

  2. Login as the service user and Install S-Drive and connect the org in the portal as described in the steps below.

  3. Now login to Salesforce as Admin.

  4. Go to S-Drive Configuration General Settings tab and scroll down to Other Settings

  5. Click the Reschedule button

  6. Edit the profile for the service user and remove Modify All Data and Customize Application permissions. (You can set up a permission set for these permissions.) Make sure the service user still has the necessary permissions to send outbound messages and has CRUD permissions to all S-Drive objects

NOTE: Any time your org is disconnected from the portal for any reason, you will need to restore Modify All Data and Customize Application Permissions to the service user, reconnect in the portal, then remove the permissions again.

Install S-Drive from the AppExchange

Login to Salesforce as Admin or as a special service user you’ve set up for S-Drive. (See “Increasing Security” above.) If using a service user, it’s best to clone the System Admin profile and use it only for the service user.

Go to the AppExchange S-Drive listing and click “Get it Now.” Follow the prompts to install S-Drive in your sandbox or production org.

...

Click Connected Organizations link on the menu (Figure 4‑6). Then under "Connect Salesforce.com Organizations", click either “Production Instance” or “Sandbox Instance” based on where you installed S-Drive. This redirects the salesforce.com login page. Login, and you’ll see your organization on the list of “Connected Salesforce.com Organizations.”

Info

Increasing security

The user installing and connecting S-Drive in the portal must have Modify All Data and Customize Application permissions. This is typically an Admin user.

Once connected, those permissions can be removed from the user that connected your org in the portal. Removing the permissions gives added security.

However, our payment calculation job needs to be run by a user with those permissions. To remove permissions from the portal user while still allowing the payment calculation job to run, follow these steps:

  • Install S-Drive and connect the org in the portal as described above with a user having Modify All Data and Customize Application permissions. Call this UserA

  • Login to Salesforce with UserB. User B needs to have Modify All Data and Customize Application permissions. This is typically an Admin User.

    Step 5: If you used a service user to install S-Drive:

    • Login to Salesforce as Admin

    • Go to S-Drive Configuration--General Settings

    ...

    • Tab

    • Scroll down to Other Settings

    • Click

    ...

    • “Reschedule” to start our payment calculation job.

    • Edit the profile for the service user used to install S-Drive

      • Remove Modify All Data permission

      • Remove Customize Application permission

    Congratulations! You are now ready to configure S-Drive to suit your needs.
